            Here are some pictures of a belt I've had for perhaps 25 years. If memory serves me correctly (and it probably doesn't) I bought it around 1988 and it has never been treated with any leather preservatives.

              Nice man, impressive that its lasted this long! The funny thing to me is that on this forum we convince ourselves that shit isn't going to last unless we spend a lot of money and yet here is a perfectly good example of something I'm guessing you didn't spend too much on going for over 2 decades. Well done!

                Oh yeah, I've a steer belt from my teens that is completely supple and awesome to this day, great brass roller buckle. Has been through hell and back repeatedly and still looks and feels great.

                Think it, be it.

                  grandmasterben, I think you and other forum members are right to think that things (often) won't last unless you spend enough.

                  Almost nothing else in my wardrobe has survived from the late 1980s, and that is probably for the best.

                        Definitely my shitty camera skills, and to be fair it was a quick iPhone snap taken while it was entirely freshly covered in Huberds boot grease.

                        I will do it more justice later with the DSLR, knowing what a pretty photo whore you are Rafa  😉

                                    Although there haven't been any recent posts in this thread, I figured I'd try to share a few pics of some natural leather goods I've had for a while.

                                        Thanks, Finn! Angelos leather goods are impressive; I've never seen better burnished edges anywhere, no matter what the cost. The half wallet fits nicely in an IH pocket too  🙂

                                          Very nice Bianco.  An Angelo's number 2 is my next wallet, love their stuff, and prices are very good.

                                            Thought I'd post some patch evo on all my IH jeans while I procrastinate my dissertation:

                                            Very proud of the colour on the 666od on the right, those jeans have served me very well, cant wait to see how the B01 will turn out. I've always used kiwi mink oil on all my leather products, once that tub is finished I'll think about investing in some Obenauf's.
